The Big Picture Game [may 2014]

We used to play a game around here called The Big Picture! A sliver off a larger picture was shared and you had to try to guess what that big picture was! I'm in the mood to give away one bag of Whisper Mountain Coffee so let's play, shall we?!

Here's what you do:

    1. try to guess what the big picture is

    2. leave your guess in the comments section

    3. comments will close Sunday evening at 8 pm.

    4. correct guesses will be raffled. if no correct guesses, all who left comments will be raffled.

    5. winner will be announced on Monday

The sliver off the big picture is:

What do you think? Leave your guess in the comments! Don't be shy! You just might win some yummo coffee! 

P.S. If you can't wait to win a bag, buy your coffee here!

b'ar stew and a winner!

Whisper Mountain Staff has been getting a hoot out of everyone's creativity in the "finish the sentence" game! Thank you to everyone who left a comment here, on facebook, instagram or email! We loved that you joined in the fun! (I'm sorry for those who couldn't leave a comment here. I'm not sure why there was a problem. I'm looking into it!)

Without further ado, our winner will be receiving one of our new zip hoodies. After kindly deliberating (& laughing), the staff unanimously agreed the following entry was the winner. Though much more than a sentence long, this entry pretty much is the real deal! If you've never enjoyed the company of local Robbinsvillians, this will give you a good idea of a real life conversation! The culture of Robbinsville is unique, but I have found the people here to be genuine and beautiful! (I grabbed a couple pics from his fb)

If you know Rance Shuler you know he's an encouraging, on fire for Jesus, long-winded feller! When he and Shaun get together, you're in for the long haul! His winning entry:

My name is LeRoy and I was standing over yonder by that thar tree when all of a sudden I heard my ol blue tick ah barkin way over yonder far off! Bessy is er name and der was no doubt in my mind she was hot on the trail of a b'ar! The louder Bessy yelped da harder my heart began to beat! Her voice was ah echoeing through them hollers and over them ridges! Pertiest thing ye ever heard!

Then my huntin' buddy Jethro came on the radio and he was sure ah hollerin and ah yelpin' at me one more site! Funny thing was it sounded like he said "Leroy get Freddy! I think that car is comin yur way!" Well one thing was fer sure I didnt have a clue who Freddy was and I sure culdnt figure out how a car was a comin through the woods! I told him I culdnt make out nery a thing he was ah hollerin about so I asked em to speak plain fer cryin out loud! Then Jethro came back on the radio and said "Not Freddy and not ah car you dingle berry! I said Leroy get reeedy I think that b'ar is ah runnin' your way! He just past through Obadiah Gap!" Oh son let me tell yuns what, I got fard up!

Sure enuff I heerd sticks ah breakin and limbs ah snappin and ol Bessy ah barkin and next thing I knew I was staring that ol black b'ar in the face! It was runnin right up the holler at me! I worked a shell into my ol 30.06 rifle handed down to me by my Pappy, asked the good Lord above to help aim properly, and then I began to sling the led at the ol b'ar!!! Let me tell you I burned his hide up and he hit the ground and ol Bessy come a runnin and jumped on top him barkin like crazy!! Yes sir that was a blessing fer sure of a b'ar hunt!!!

My good ol wife Jenni is makin b'ar stew rt now you can smell it frum Stecoah to Robbinsville! Stay tuned in to this here Werner gal's blog and I'll fill yuns in on how we deer hunt here in these parts!
